I picked up a deadstock NWT PRL suit jacket that seems to have a free floating layer of canvas. Made in the USA with a retro looking tag.

Is it correct that pre-Corneliani jackets were full canvas or are my hands deceiving me?

Yes, my dad's old polo suit when he was young, are all in durable workhouse fabric and full canvassed, TBH Polo should continue with their old stuff, just much better and long lasting

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
